Sumario:In this thesis we present the synthesis and characterization of different types of ruthenium complexes containing N-donor ligands together with monodentate ligands, along with their complete characterization through spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The complexes have been evaluated as catalysts for olefin epoxidation and nitrile hydration in 2/1 homogeneous phase. On the other hand, taking into account the importance and advantages of the heterogeneous catalysis, we have carried out the immobilization of some of these complexes on silica-type supports and magnetic nanoparticles and we have evaluated their catalytic activity, comparing them with the analogous homogeneous systems, and have been reused for several runs maintaining high values of selectivity for the epoxide. Some of the complexes together with other complexes previously synthesized in our research group, have been tested as antitumoral agents
